Who Has Spring Install Tips?

theinfamousdrew · 04-19-2014, 06:43 AM

Hey guys today I'm going to tackle my H&R spring install on my xDrive.
I've done this several times on other vehicles such as:
996TT, 135i, and 3 x E46's.

Anyone who has done this already for the F30 have any tips or tricks?

Thanks.

Like watching out for the positive battery terminal that is about 1/4" away from one of the strut tower bolts. Almost shocked the shit of out my self.

I wrapped electrical tape around it.
